The Bain sidhe sounds like fingernails on a blackboard crossed with a castrated pig running for its life played over a badly distorted pa system.
VA is being honest, that's the right attitude, as he'll know where the problem lies. For certain VA is motivated to play for bronze. Lin Dan, well, he's not interested but he'll play to entertain everyone , as that's also the job of a Yonex ambassador, so he'll be sporting and make it interesting.
no way Carolina Marin to be the WS GOAT even if she win this title. no way. Li Lingwei win 2 World Championships title, all when WC held every 2 years. Han Aiping as well. 2 WC titles no Olympics in their era. Marin ? 2014 and 2015 WC. WC held almost every year. and what about the other title ? LLW has 8 or 9 world records. what about marin ? how many records ? LLW can win 5 WS titles in a row despite double duty in WD, how about Marin ? can she do it ? how to be a world champion in WS and WD if she can't win against Michele Li while doing double duty in 2015 Sudirman Cup level 2 ? https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...B73EE0-97F1-4387-A72F-52B49FBE4586&player=339
Scoring points and doing unforced errors. All done by marin. She is so fast. Almost no chance for girav to dictate any rallies... But very close 18-17 Spain leading
Looks like a good thesis to me. But seriously this is good for the sport itself. Didn't you see that there were 44 Chinese player in table tennis in Rio? It doesn't matter whether it's Spain, U.S., Germany, Austria, and (god !!!) Congo, a Chinese showed up to play. This basically means no one else is playing. Now, gold hopefully means more money for Marin or Sindu, which in turns attracts more people!
Carolina Marin is only 23. She has many more WC and possibly two more Olympics Golds to win after this. If she's not injured, she will become clearer to everyone that she is GOAT. In my opinion, given she's from Spain, and the way she's pushed WS to another level, she would be the GOAT for me if she wins this Gold.
Yeap, a few hundred $ on my bookies and I might lose more if CL wins tomorrow. I have to buy my badminton buddy a racket of his choice.
